French Toast Bastard

Scotch Ale / Wee Heavy

Backwoods Bastard gets the 4-star breakfast treatment. Our bourbon barrel-aged Scotch Ale is introduced to maple syrup, cinnamon, and sweet vanilla for a decadent brunch-inspired sipper. Breakfast for dinner, anyone?

Like the bourbon, vanilla and cinnamon requires more body.

I wanted to like this more, but think the flavors would be better in a stout. Very strong and sweet, I seemed to like it less the more I drank - regular Backwoods is a lot better.

Well … they did it. Tasted like I was drinking a stack of liquid french toast! Cinnamon, maple sweetness (like extra-buttery syrup sweet!) Even has a bready-pastry vibe. Buddy the Elf might even O.D. on this beer!

Nailed the French toast smell but too heavy on the cinnamon and maple drowns out the Backward bastard bourbon/scotch base

So much maple in the nose. Tons of cinnamon on the tongue. A bit boozy, not really loving this. Not my kind of beer any more. 5oz, 7*

Seemed surprisingly subtle on the first sip, but as it warmed up it got more over the top as expected. Mostly just too sweet. Cinnamon was more tame than most, but still too much.

Sweet maple, thin watery body, easy to drink. Translation: dangerous.
